Thanks for your kind words and for viewing my gallery. For clarity, let me say I did not intend to equate observation with evidence.

Observations are not evidence. Your pix would acoarst serve as the solid evidence. Reviewing your Gallery pix does show that you excercise your precepts.

Precepts

I'll let another source discuss the central importance of effective image composition: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/discover/photo-composition.html[quote=burkphoto]

Earlier, I had this to say as well, rounding my experience, study, and practice: "Overall, effective image composition remains integral to a worthy photograph."

In the dictionary, I found my preferred definition of "precept": It "commonly suggests something advisory and not obligatory communicated typically through teaching." I mean this looser sense of the term "precept."

I end by noting that the field of photography has room for all commers.

Effective composition is certainly important. I think the negative responses are to the use of the word 'precepts", which is an even stronger word than "rules". Some photographers have a natural ability to compose photographs without using rules or precepts, which can become cliches.

The word "precepts" in my use of it goes to doing photography in general practice including specific techniques.

From this activity, I have observed that effective image composition remains integral to a worthy photograph.

Precepts

For years now, I have described my endeavors in the field of photography this way: "I do photography for its own sake, and to fulfill myself."

My work therein speaks for itself: http://www.500px.com/anotherview2

Incidentally, I began referring to myself as a photographer only after ten years of struggling with the craft of photography. My outlook derives from this effort.

Humongous AMEN. Did you review his work ? Much of it really does succeed in displaying applications of his "precepts". And yet, it all fails to establish him as "a photographer". Acoarst theres no sooprise in that.

Recall also that AA said he visualized the photograph before he pressed the shutter button. His approach no doubt involved sizing up the scene with an overlay of a composition within a frame. So, for discussion, we may say AA produced his photographs.

Aha! Ansel Adams said he made the photographs. I think make and manufacture have the same meaning right?

Begin with a guiding premise. Wordless, photography functions as a visual medium of human expression. It may rise to art in the right hands. The techniques of this artform will serve this outcome. Overall, effective image composition remains integral to a worthy photograph.

Precepts

As experienced photographers have noted, the advent of digital photography has shortened the time for learning photography due to the instant feedback it offers to the photographer.

I referred to the observation of Minor White for the student of photography to take heart, to keep at it.

Precepts

Mastery involves striving and dedication over time with an object in mind, no matter the field.

As a visual artform, photography includes its own measures for producing a worthy photograph, one measure being image composition.

One help in this endeavor tells the student of photography that he or she has neared competence -- seeing photographs everywhere.

My advice here from experience: Continually take photographs. Learn from one's mistakes and succusses.

Sober reply. Start here: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/discover/photo-composition.html

As well, bear in mind that the photographer Minor White once said that learning photography takes ten years.

Canon vs Nikon

Rent to try the mirrorless camera. Your experience will then guide you to an answer.

From the sales hype, I've gathered that the mirrorless cameras incorporate more features and functions.

Yet, so far, I've not seen a definitive report saying that mirrorless cameras produce a significantly better image quality then a DSLR.

The hyperbole pushing the mirrorless camera reminds me of a similar pitch for the introduction of video capability in a DSLR, as if it presented a breakthrough in image-making. Etc.
